RomComs, and Comedy. I don't know why but I really prefer things that are slice-of-life and show a bit of japanese culture, as I like finding things out about other cultures (Anime examples: Toradora, ore monogatari and Umaru-chan) It's kind of odd that I like light hearted anime considering I'm a Harcore horror movie fan, love metal (Hardest I go is black metal), and I like thriller tv shows (The Family on hulu was one of my faves before it got canceled)

I like mature shonens, mecha and slice of life anime in general; they don't guarantee the show to be good, but I've found some of my favourites around those.
It's quite rare to find a one-genre anime, though. And we can hardly find the well-seasoned recipe.
I wouldn't know where to put Cowboy Bebop for instance, and it has little to do with shonen, mecha and slice of life as we have today.
And we have this overwhelming new 'Drama' genre, which has made some progress and became quite noticeable.
I also grew an interest for Romance comedies, a sub-genre which has improved quite a lot, but not without being somewhat repetitive over the years.

I usually read comedy, mystery, or action series, such as Ao no Exorcist, Boku Dake ga Inai Machi, Tokyo Ghoul, D.Gray man, Pandora Hearts, Nisekoi, Oregairu, and so on. I think that manga is a good place to get a little more story out of the series than anime, since there usually is more time to expand it.
